Community Partners

Essential to our efforts to raise the level of professionalism and insert greater accountability and transparency to local government is the role of the area’s influential community organizations – particularly those who are dedicated to working with and in the Latino community.

To that end, the Latino Policy Center is partnering with some of those organizations in this effort. They have agreed to participate at the Policy Forums either in providing subject matter experts for speakers or panelists as well as formally engage with our Members to provide them with community input in their policy development process. This feature is unique to the Latino Policy Center.

In addition, the leadership of some of the influential organizations has been invited to participate with the Latino Policy Center on a deeper level as members of our Advisory Board.

The effort to connect and meet with the leadership of these organizations is in its early stages but we have already secured support from the following groups. We will continue to engage with potential community partners throughout the start-up phase.
